JFT Sunday
- church 😞
- Ride
- Stay on plan
- Log food
- Shower
- Bed by 10:30
Didn't have many goals for yesterday, but I hit all but church. Hubby was tired and didn't want to get up. I didn't push. Slept way too late. Didn't start my day until like 11:30. Was a little dizzy in the am, guess I'm cutting calories a little too much for days when I exercise. Began with 2 boiled eggs, which was a good start, but didn't eat anything after that until like 5:00. Needless to say my 3:00 bike ride was underwhelming. Still got it in, but my legs were like lead and after about 30 minutes I was riding the struggle bus.
I'll keep cals low today, but eat a little more so I can take spin class this evening without puking or passing out. At least that is the goal.
So much stuff to do at work, I can't even wrap my head around it today...
Tomorrow is Tim's shoulder surgery, so not doing much other than driving and playing nursemaid. Not sure they will be able to repair the damage. They may get in there and determine he need a replacement instead of the repair. He really doesn't want that. He had a replacement on the right shoulder last October. His mobility is limited more than he's like even though it's better than the surgeon expected.
JFT Monday

Y'all have a great day!3 -
Here's an update from me, not really been tracking food as much, but been generally mindful of what I'm eating. It's not like I don't know the difference between fruit and crisps. I'm just making better choices, not all the time, but most the time.
I started a 30-day butt workout app. Every 3 days of exercise you get a rest day
Tbh I wasn't gonna post about it because ive.probs had more rest days than workout days but even still, I normally wouldn't be doing it at all, so even if I'm not following it to the tee.. I'm still doing it. So a win right?
The scale is going in the right direction.
Ready to start some weightlifting now I got my protein, creatine and BCAAs
But need to learn some weightlifting moves, ash knows them, I'll learn off him x4 -

@pridesabtch - II must have been in the air yesterday! I slept in too. But it was much cooler as we have rain at the moment, and it has taken the heat out of the air.

Hello! I am a serial MFP lurker but looking to get more involved with the community boards for motivation and support..
I am 5'8 and about 65kg, goal weight is 60kg hence username.
I am a regular runner and cyclist but really struggle with emotional/boredom eating..
I've been reading James Clear's Atomic Habits looking at the association between habits/reward.. last night's chapter said it's powerful to commit to doing a thing - so here I am, committing to you all that I have actually planned my lunch and dinner today. With 4 teenagers in the house, multiple diets (I have coeliac disease, veggie, meat eaters etc) it's challenging!
Based in the UK, I have basically zero friends so feel free to add me. I am definitely very happy to chat about getting into or sustaining running! But I can talk about other things too.. !
Have a great day!4 -

Welcome! I used to be an avid cyclist and runner, but life got in the way, I got sick and I gained a ton of weight. Still ride some, but not like I did, and running at this weight doesn’t feel good. Looking forward to getting back in shape. Glad you joined our group!2 -

Y'all have a great day!
Yesterday was pretty good. Still didn’t eat enough to fuel my workout, but I pushed through spin class. It was hot and humid in the room and I was a sweaty mess by the end. There was only one drill where I skipped a rep, but that’s ok. Skipping one is better than passing out.
Didn’t go to bed early like I planned. We decided to watch a movie at 9:30. It was 2.5hrs long. Needless to say bedtime ran late. Then I couldn’t sleep. The last time I looked at my watch was 4:24, then I woke up at 5:19. Doesn’t set a good start for the day.
Got up at 5:30 and did my work stuff. Note I’m home waiting for folks to wake up. Going to try to squeeze in a cat nap while they are still sleeping. Surgery isn’t until 10:30 and they say it will be about 4 hours. Feel like I should take a pillow & blanket to the waiting room.

Hi @misssixtea! I used to be a runner too, it was my "silver bullet" for losing / maintaining weight for many years until too many injuries (calf & foot) forced me to stop. Now I just do swimming/ non-impact exercise. Actually just returned from the pool after a workout with the hubby, and even though I was dragging a little bit at least it's done! Anyway, on with the day...met my goals for yesterday and more of the same today...
JFT:
don't eat until 1pm
stay within calories
100 oz water
pool workout done3 -
@misssixtea i tried to send you a friend request, but it didn’t work. If you want to connect hit me up.

Thanks! I start my new job on 7/10. Thursday I’m helping to interview people for my old job. Weird, but kind of nice.

@pridesabtch i can’t work out how to add you, either! I’ll try again tomorrow!
Pleased to say I NAILED today whoop!
Planned all my food
Didn’t eat a tonne of crap
Life didn’t end!
And I had a fab run today, 6.7 miles.. chasing the fast boys for most of it. Nearly killed myself but hung on, just about.
Then had to phone my husband to collect me cos I’d overcooked it and couldn’t face the last 1.5 miles uphill to home, but who cares!
Whoop!3 -
@misssixtea i used to love hanging on to the gray guys. Yeah sometimes I bonked, but it was so worth it!2

Bad day all around today. Stomach bouncing from nauseous to starving so I didn’t eat nearly as much as I should have. Then got over a thousand dollars worth of medical bills for an outpatient procedure that lasted about 20 minutes. The American healthcare system seriously needs to change. I have savings built up to be able to afford the bill, but I know there are people out there who don’t have that. No one should have to choose between keeping themselves alive and keeping food on their table or a roof over their head.2

JFT I will..
Stick to the plan!

Made my goals for yesterday, even with another long workday. It's nice to begin just thinking in "weeks" I've been on plan instead of "days"! Today will do a "Burpee Girl" video on youtube (so far she hasn't done a singe burpee in the videos I've chosen ha ha, probably because I only do low impact) then a yoga stretch. I'm just gonna keep on, keeping on...hope everyone has a great day!

don't eat till 1pm

Did talk about assisted living (there's a facility under construction near me). Leaving for ALA tomorrow; NEA July 1. Transfer approved. All kinds of feels about THAT. Tried out for a play. Also applied for a PT job with the not-a-union-union. Will have to quit RC if it goes through. Getting support for workplace organizing through WCAE with EWOC. I haven't even done ANYTHING with abolition.
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.
WFTY: Priorities. OOF. Definitely gained some weight at the conference. Hopefully some of it is water retention and will drop easily...2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.1 -

Anxiety has been out of control today. Which has made my IBS issues kick into overdrive (no surprises there). That’s causing more anxiety, which causes more symptoms… and the cycle continues. Hard to believe I actually felt hopeful a few days ago.
Writing today off as a failure. Maybe tomorrow will be better.3 -
